Since the Eid break is like a mini vacation, we might as well make the most of it by settling into a spa and giving our bodies a well-earned treat. And between hair rituals, holistic practices, and the usual detoxifying massage, Dubai comes with plenty of options to melt the stress away. Here are the spots that we’re eyeing out for this break.
Sanara Spa | Grosvenor House, Dubai Marina
Centred on the seven chakras and ancient healing traditions, Sanara Spa blends holistic practices with modern therapy ones to give a well-rounded treatment. Their signature treatments use herbal oils, cupping techniques, and more to calm and destress the body.
Talise Ottoman Spa | Jumeirah Zabeel Saray
Honing in on Ottoman rituals, Talise fully immerses in Turkish opulence and splendour with mosaic tiles, patterned designs, and Islamic-style lanterns. Here you can take your pick between traditional hammam rituals and body treatments or visit their Thalassotherapy pool, steam, sauna, Snow Room, and jacuzzi.
Cinq Mondes Spa | Raffles The Palm
The best way to describe this spa is warm. Natural wooden interiors and warm lighting instantly take your body from survival mode to relaxing mode. In this 3,000 sqm space, you can find signature treatments, reset facials, slimming and detoxifying rituals, and Psammotherapy in a warm quartz bed.
The Spa, Palazzo Versace | Jaddaf Waterfront
Decorated with Versace prints, The Spa at Palazzo Versace is the place to be if you’re looking to indulge. Treatments range from hot stone massages to immunity-boosting treatments, sleep ritual treatments that work to improve sleep quality, and more. But the true indulgence comes in The Ultimate, a whopping seven-hour treatment course which begins with breakfast at Giardino restaurant, followed by a hammam and massage treatment, before taking a break for lunch and rejoining for a facial, blow dry, and mani-pedi.
Soul Senses Spa
For those worried about last-minute bookings, Soul Senses Spa comes with 22 branches across the UAE, so you’re guaranteed a spot in their schedule. Their rituals go from classic treatments such as aromatherapy and Swedish massage to more complex ones like the Lava Shell Massage, a treatment where seashells are glided over the body.
Saltzen | Al Wasl
One of the newer addresses in Dubai, Saltzen combines science-backed therapies with signature wellness rituals. Rooted in the practice of salt therapy, you can take your pick between detoxifying massages and facials in their Halotherapy spa rooms, where microparticles of salt are dispersed in the air to help with overall wellness and relaxation.
Womanly Wellness | Jumeirah 3
For women by women, Womanly Wellness is centred on making women feel their best. Here you can find a movement studio with Pilates classes, yoga, barre and more, and curated treatment rooms designed to help with recovery, drainage, beauty tech, sculpting, and more. It’s a spot designed for a full spa day beginning with a thoughtful class and ending with a massage that soothes the skin.
Sage | Jumeirah
Another spot that combines movement with spa treatments, at Sage, you can skip the movement if you’re not up for it and go straight to their wellness section. A sauna, hammam, and cold plunge help the immune system and boost muscle recovery, while their massages range from sculpting treatments to lymphatic drainage, deep tissue, and osteopathic body treatments.
